My sense is that Huddlestone, Parker and Dawson will be omitted as well. Don't think there will be any more surprises. At one point there were whispers about Defoe not making it. But the Bent omission killed that off.
This has been a very poor method the FA has chosen to employ. It is a real mess. Makes transfer day seem civilized and organized!
Now the announcement will be at 4pm. The FA's handling of this has been diabolical.

This surpises you? It's the English FA.
I can't see England scoring much, especially with that 4-5-1 formation Shearer suggested. Rooney will be marked out of the match by international defenders if he's the lone striker. Unless Lampard or Gerrard and hit 30 yard scorchers, I can't see where goals will come from.
